So...Trump's tried to kill his doctor.
I just thought writing it out would make me feel better.
Nope.

You would think they would! It's still lethal!

Once again it's time for Guess the Speaker!
That's an official statement by Twitter, about to slam the TOS on the POS.This policy framework applies to current world leaders and candidates for office, and not private citizens when they no longer hold these positions
Now Trump might challenge either of those, but here's the thing, funny story: Twitter and Facebook are both private companies. And let's face it, everyone reading this has clicked "Accept" on "We've updated our terms of service" at least ten times.It has added multiple warnings and labels to tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account, including many since Tuesday’s election that made unfounded allegations of voting fraud. It first hid one of his tweets behind a “public interest” label in May when the president violated the company’s policy against glorifying violence.
Under Facebook Inc’s policies, it appears that after Biden takes office in January, Trump’s posts would also no longer be exempt from review by Facebook’s third-party fact-checking partners.
Facebook’s online policy says it defines politicians, whose posts are exempt from fact-checking, as candidates running for office, current office holders and many of their cabinet appointees, along with political parties and their leaders.
It says “former candidates for office or former officials continue to be covered by our third-party fact-checking programme.”
Trump will have three choices.
1) Build his own --
"Yeah, with what money?"
-- social media platform
2) Obey the rules
3) Be silent.

Unfortunately for you we have this thing call science which studies these things.
Protests because of precautions taken and being outdoors did not cause a spike in cases.
Rallies, however, caused at least 30,000 cases and 700 deaths.
There is not both sides. There is one side.
Pence flees like a panicky motherf (cough) Pence takes personal vacation time in Florida until Saturday. Specifically, an island, which is how rich people socially distance.
Besides the obvious motivation for fleeing the WH before he gets sick and dies, Pence is expected to hit Georgia on the way back to help the runoff.
125,689 new cases, about 36k more than last Monday. For a Monday that's bad news.
Top 20:
Illinois: 10,573 new cases; 25 deaths
Texas: 10,251 new cases; 44 deaths
California: 7,636 new cases; 28 deaths
Tennessee: 5,919 new cases (new record); 15 deaths
Kansas: 5,101 new cases (new record); 15 deaths
Iowa: 5,100 new cases (new record); 9 deaths
Ohio: 4,706 new cases; 6 deaths
Pennsylvania: 4,562 new cases (new record); 6 deaths
Michigan: 4,505 new cases; 32 deaths
Wisconsin: 4,360 new cases; 17 deaths
Indiana: 4,135 new cases; 35 deaths
Missouri: 4,091 new cases; 9 deaths
Minnesota: 3,926 new cases; 19 deaths
Fuck Florida.
New York: 3,662 new cases; 32 deaths
Colorado: 3,553 new cases (new record); 14 deaths
Connecticut: 3,338 new cases (new record); 27 deaths
Washington: 2,365 new cases (new record); 24 deaths
New Jersey: 2,357 new cases; 10 deaths
Utah: 2,247 new cases; 2 deaths
In what is becoming a running theme Nebraska failed to report on time. The report they--eventually--put in for yesterday was about a 60% increase in cases from their previous Sunday. Oklahoma's switching over to a new system and therefore didn't report yesterday, but the huge number they put up the day before appears, unfortunately, to be mostly accurate:
There's really not much for me to say here that you can't already see for yourselves. This is a lot of records for a low report day--a lot of cases for a low report day. Prepare for a bad week ahead. As I've mentioned before, 150-160k is not out of the question. Depending on how much this escalates...possibly beyond.Today’s individual case number, 4,507, is a corrected version of yesterday’s number with all duplicate cases removed. Today we will not be releasing a new daily case number, allowing our data reporting system to catch up and ensure duplications are removed from the daily number prior to release moving forward. Starting tomorrow, the daily number released will not include any duplicates. We are committed to giving the public and media accurate and transparent data, and this will ensure the daily number reflects the actual case count. We will continue to point to the 7-day average, percent positivity and hospitalizations in addition to the daily number to give a more complete picture of trends.
We have no reason to believe our revised number is an anomaly, but instead shows community spread is occurring. We continue to urge all Oklahomans to take this highly-contagious virus seriously and act immediately to avoid large gatherings, wear a mask, wash your hands and watch your distance to others. Together we can bring these numbers down and protect our friends, family and neighbors.
641 deaths is a little over a hundred more than last Monday. The total is now 244,448. The 7-day average (according to worldometers) is now exactly 1k. And rising.

That combined with the number of new records is like...jesus, Mark Meadows was right. The Trump administration isn't even trying to combat/contain the virus, nor are many Republican governors.
Whatever happens, happens, I guess. It's a good thing these governors and the president don't have to call all the families.
You can fault the city governments outside of Chicago and Cook County for the failings of Illinois getting its shit under control. Governor puts up a restriction on dining and bars....local law enforcement refuses to do anything when places jam above capacity just to stick it to the man....all without social distancing and masks of course.

Besides what others points out, how do justify the idea that Biden was hiding in his basement and trying to act like he was holding Trump like rallies?
When Trump was calling it a democrat hoax, were democrats actually right?
The pandemic response team was put in place by Obama/Biden administration, but dismantled by Trump and cut CDC budget by 19%, because his tax cut for the rich was too expensive.
No, Trump thought Americans were panicky, so he lied and lied and lied and lied... and what was his lie? Don’t panic about the virus, because of antifa? How is that not killing people for political reason? What both sides?
